"Sad Eyes" lyrics

Where you going with those sad eyes?
It is so clear that they're just like mine
I never saw something so magic
When you were right here
By my side

I wanna take bad news away from you
I'd like to think that's not holding back the truth
Just protecting all of that precious youth
There was a time I didn't recognize
Parts of me that came from me as a child
Some of those I wish I could rectify
Some of those I wish never to deny

When you are in need
I'll be where you left me
I'll be—
It's okay to forget me
It's okay to forget me
That just means you're ready
When you are in need
I'll be where you left me
I'll be—
It's okay to forget me
It's okay to forget me

You're gonna wanna do it on your own
I'm gonna teach you everything I know
But also provide you with the space to grow, oh
There will be moments I can't anticipate
I hope in those times you can navigate
I pray that I taught you to investigate
It terrifies me some things are left to fate

When you are in need
I'll be where you left me
I'll be—
It's okay to forget me
It's okay to forget me
That just means you're ready
When you are in need
I'll be where you left me
I'll be—
It's okay to forget me
It's okay to forget me

I'll be—
It's okay to forget me
I'll be—
It's okay to forget me
